(2) K-3 Isadora uses collages of paint-striated paper plus scraps of fabric to give this Grimms' tale an African setting. The fisherman and his greedy wife live in a pigsty; the wife's aggrandizements culminate in her becoming pope--only to be reduced to her original state when "she wants to be God." It's a handsome book, and the tale sits comfortably in its new setting.
